Well I've just had my DSG for a month and it's fantastic. Love it to death. It shifts so fast at WOT it's unbelievable. Even the SOUND it makes when it shifts is so much different...there's nothing lazy about it. It does some weird little things when it's cold, but so did my conventional auto in my Fusion. The paddle shifters are so much fun to use. Pretty much guaranteed to put a smile on my face when I play with them.

My wife's car is a brand new 2013 gti with dsg. It is a fun transmission in manual mode--and seems overall excellent--BUT if you like a clutch--and I do--its no substitute--conventional manual all the way!!

personally the only dual clutch transmissions i find impressive are the ones in the Ferrari's (mostly), Porsche's and Lamborghini's. basically the rich, expensive, far out of my reach cars. throttle input on them is incredibly weird from my time moving around some 2012 Focus' and a Veloster.
